Inorganic carbon levels regulate growth via SigC signaling cascade in cyanobacteria
Summary Cyanobacterial growth depends on inorganic carbon (Ci; CO2 and bicarbonate) concentration, but mechanism(s) adjusting photosynthesis and growth according to Ci remain unclear. ΔrpoZ cells lacking the ω subunit of the RNA polymerase (RNAP) show a unique high‐CO2 lethal phenotype in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.

Summary The importance of marine angiosperms, or seagrasses, as foundation species for marine coastal ecosystems is in marked contrast to their low species number of only 70 described taxa. Seagrass species tend to have very similar overall morphologies dictated by hydrodynamic forces of the ocean environment.

Beyond conservation: the landscape of chloroplast genome rearrangements in angiosperms
Summary Chloroplast genomes (plastomes) have long been considered structurally conserved, but recent sequencing efforts have uncovered pervasive rearrangements that challenge this assumption. This review catalogues the main types of plastome modifications: large and small inversions; insertions and deletions (indels); gene and intron losses; horizontal

Summary Conventional genetic engineering in green microalgae employs error‐prone nonhomologous end joining to integrate recombinant DNA at double‐strand breaks generated at random positions across the nuclear genome. This typically results in variable transcription strength and requires a labor‐intensive screening procedure to identify transformants ...

Evolution of petal patterning: blooming floral diversity at the microscale
Summary The flowers of angiosperms are extraordinarily diverse. While most floral variation is visible to the naked eye, this diversity goes beyond the macroscale: Floral organs comprise an underappreciated range of cell types that generate a multitude of patterns across their surfaces and give rise to novel structures.
